My new baby is a Full Silicone baby girl 18 inches, she feels real and is heavy. I love her 😍 and although she is a factory doll from Temu ( full unboxing on YouTube: Kenton & Habiba- under the playlist: crafts & dolls) I am looking forward to getting an artist made full silicone doll or Reborn doll which as you can imagine can get pretty pricey. I will link a few options of Silicone dolls as well as the one I bought. Keep in mind the options from Amazon are cheaper but also Smaller (16 inches versus realistic 18-22 inches) Why would a grown woman want such a doll? There are many reasons: comfort, loneliness- many older women live alone or may have lost a spouse or child. Younger women who suffer from infertility, miscarriages or death of a child. Some women feel more relaxed holding a baby or doll such as this. Helping to combat anxiety. Women who want kids later but are not ready to commit yet may enjoy having a realistic looking doll with all the obligations. Silicone dolls are often used in teaching in the medical setting as well. Some people like myself have collected different types of dolls for years and appreciate the art and work that goes into making these dolls look realistic. Once you hold one of these dolls you will understand ☺️ Ps Silicone dolls ideally are not for small children because they are delicate and expensive and may tear easily if mishandled. 🍼 Vinyl Reborns are better for kids ( and some adults 😊 LTKkids LTKFind LTKbaby
